2:30 am
and we cannot let the minutes right not you by a serious message or no message are exactly the same corporate greed is destroying this country that we cannot let it slip we have built very close ties with the communication workers before september seventeenth we were already supporting the farm workers and they responded by supporting us we went to their last rally at the headquarters they marched back to the park with us and some of them slept there they're going to be in a tough struggle that's why we're getting this relationship with labor labor sees as relieved they are i never expected when i first started contacting unions that the response would be so enthusiastic but the labor movement has been kicked around now for quite a while and they have to fight and they see people fighting and they see they're fighting the same enemy and they see them reaching out this movement has shown such an eagerness to reach out to the mainstream of the american public and the unions
2:31 am
represent the organized part of that the focus on the one percent and the first time in an american movement i don't even think in the thirty's that the communist party did this in their mass work i don't even think they identify the enemy as the ruling class mr speaker. mr vice president. members of congress distinguished guests and fellow americans last month i went to andrews air force base and welcome home some of our last troops to serve in iraq. together we offered a final proud salute to the colors under which more than a million of our fellow citizens bought. and several thousand gave their lives we gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the united states safer and more respected around the world thank you.
2:32 am
thanks that's you two want to get a standing ovation from both democrats and republicans just keep them alive it beats the bottom line of the military industrial complex which just so happens to have invented itself in every congressional district in the country nobody really believes that being undisputed greatest mayor of violence in the world actually makes us safer and more respected i mean come on that kind of attitude is not going to earn anyone any nobel peace prizes or anything distinguish members of the norwegian nobel committee. citizens of america. and citizens of the world. i receive this honor with deep gratitude and great humility george orwell would have had a hard time coming up with this are we really this delusional you see the more honest we are with ourselves about exactly what our foreign policy is the better
2:33 am
chance we have to stop some of the truly horrific conditions it visits upon many of the people of the world so say it with me the us foreign policy is a blowback inducing homicidal bull in a cultural religious and geo political china shop change. there was. a crime. for far. too many fans to see. that he was mad. it was not right. for. the answer to the trial i started in iraq in two thousand and four and two thousand and six i was in the second battle of. enough allusion november two thousand and four as a human being and as a person who has a heart i can't lie to myself anybody else and say that we had a reason to be there that there's
2:34 am
a reason for the million iraqis that died in the five thousand troops said we say we're the greatest country in the world but we go into you know people in their country but we don't stop genocide in africa we don't help people that we can help that would be the greatest country in the world if we can save a million people instead of killing them and people if you're not convinced our foreign policy is morally bankrupt perhaps we should talk about money taxpayers in united states have need one point four trillion dollars for total war spending in iraq and afghanistan since two thousand and one never wondered what one point four trillion dollars would buy well it could be the annual energy costs for every household in america five years that i hear you saying that would not do very much to decrease our dependence on foreign oil there. one point four trillion dollars could convert every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy. over or it could convert every home in america to one hundred percent wind energy
2:35 am
knowing times over for groceries for everyone in the country for free for two years or provide scholarships to every college student in america and award them a fifty five hundred dollar grant seven times over with more turn all volunteer firefighters into full time employees and pay them a full salary for twenty three years or pay the full time salaries of every public school teacher for the next six years instead we took one point four trillion dollars to pay a small black ops team to hunt track and kill osama bin ladin oh we even had money left over in the budget to decimate two countries launch hostilities resulting in over one million innocent civilians dead and counting ask yourself how many orphans are going to bed with clenched fists tonight in afghanistan or iraq who grow up willing to fly a plane into the building and how many trillions are we prepared to spend on
2:36 am
avenging that. you can do everything go to school and not just go to school but excel in school work really really hard and i graduated and really had to feeling a lot of the time very consciously in my head that. i might as well. you know i mean. was there reason for me to be in debt good evening of all the time bombs in the american economy set to explode with dire consequences this is a big one staggering debt from student loans everyone is told a college education is a way to get ahead college tuitions though keep going up so does the borrowing and we just hit an awful milestone our nation's combined student loan debt is now. one trillion dollars that averages out to twenty four thousand per student it's now larger than credit card debt in this country and it comes just as an entire generation is just starting out i have to.
2:37 am
i. got to. get your go anybody would have predicted that. you would have. people out of the streets in new york city. because something is just journalists here.
2:38 am
oh it just. has so many bright. young people. on a global stage with affordable education. and it is a challenge and justice that there is in fact the whole student loan debt credit card debt when congress raises loan limits schools respond to those increased long limits by raising tuition because they think that students can afford to pay more because they're actually allowed more money nobody really has the option to expect to get to to come. not go to college we don't have an unskilled workforce anymore we're for the workforce that we have right now it's socially irresponsible not to go to school because the entire workforce is predicated on higher education i think our education system hasn't caught up to our economy and that's one of the problems
2:39 am
and that that's where this problem is coming and that's why people are speaking up that's why that i am here there are no bankruptcy protections for any student loans this is the only one and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can ever discharge this invade privacy the idea of debtors union is based on a labor union model and what they did effectively when our economy was very different when there was so-called unskilled labor they negotiated with the factories for better working conditions so that they could go back to work just that same way do you debtors union could renegotiate a better contractor arrangement with our lenders so that we can repay our loans it's employing an autonomous strategy of refusal so you were fused to do something you're saying no to something in favor of making things better.
2:40 am
how do. you. write code you know it's really about who we believe and back to the sooner we. just saw the suspects so whether it's b.p. . oil. the tar sands i think of the size of florida the split in alberta i was really interested in the tar sands protests this summer because to see thousand plus people getting arrested like that willfully is pretty amazing from. i messaged all of you to tell you is tar sands oil is not have to go in order to get tarzan go out you ask to destroy the art and so i think that you know finds out the pipeline but what happens after that you know i know there's
2:41 am
a standoff with big oil i think so i think so i don't think it's the environment's going to magically go itself because we stop the pipeline and then the thing about the pipeline again and one reason that makes it so urgent is that that nasa scientist james hansen the brokaw boring are actually a few decades past it ever says the piper i mean it will be. game over again so i didn't cry you know how to bowl. well with. science technology innovation all the least developed minsk from around russia we've got the future covered. to please speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic in school here.
2:42 am
reporting from the world's hot spots specifically ip interviews intriguing stories are you. trying. to find out more visit our big teeth. wealthy british style. sometimes. market why not can they. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger or a no. holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report on r t m in sochi can only a city in europe and a host of the twenty fourteen which are the pick a. song see. thank you for all the.
2:43 am
tsotsi. thank you for the song the way a. dog days or. the fridays it. picks a common. theme song says it's so true. give me can i speak we'll see you. let me then explain by sort of i don't run don't agree you don't agree with. my son isn't isn't in the arena i don't know what his coffee are when he's trying to hurt you fer. sure a new country a. country your ears. the moon or in hope to help you found it. you find in so many old says war.
2:44 am
and sometimes. caves it's. easy. for me it isn't only killing you reading it and. and i think that until the people who are the naysayers come down and actually get off their narrative there's. a good dose of hope and a rarity here so old steve bruce isn't worth
2:45 am
a dime and we want people to be able to use the lift it's going to take time but. we can't force it but we're not ready to. because we see a better world. it would be. you know this organization of the second that any american dreams. were created. was. ok it's time to put in a bit you know was heresy this intervention at the end you know the so you all the sex stuff and then they sit around somebody who has issues and problems and they talk about you know how badly that person has done and what they're going to do if
2:46 am
they don't change their behavior and for us we're dealing with folks who have a serious addiction to corporate money ok. now we can expect them to get off it on their own even on that in the smoking a crack cocaine of money. only crack rock if they're easily addictive somebody who was cool six years ago snuck up on a crack rock this not to occupy movement has become a conduit to venue for talking about this corruption and so folks that move to amend that are really in my boy. said he in the bar for the critique that corporations are not curse. property not speech constitutional rights are for people over eighteen fifty six and dred scott the same supreme court so that people are property dred scott affirmed slavery in two thousand the supreme court said
2:47 am
property is people killed decisions i didn't say. that i was i just felt for some punk told them telling them how about. a single mom and a coalition not individuals organisations coming together with a secular purpose. to come to shul and then to make it clear. that they do not have been hearing about it. about. money it is not political speak us. today and probably he's coming top doctrines must be abolished we cannot overturn could be punished and
2:48 am
still our wealthy individuals just didn't have enough the money and. the abuse. i. feel. he's in a he with my son if i thought that ha it was all about is the. month club city look around at the power monopolies have you. this she's build a life as a society should we get sneakers like let's use the excuse that someone's got to lose with some push for race to the wind as it is not the older they don't build on that that's about morris both of those we're told forgotten the face we're all
2:49 am
taught by our mothers. the people of the us the pale. bull the hero he has the most usually honorable son to the small of his. bronx but still much better just because the race is. really cause he. was was because he was. that people are realizing it very least that the way our economic system currently runs is not democratic it's not an official to the vast majority of people and kill we have some kind of economic democracy where in the past majority of people in
2:50 am
their communities and in their workplaces have more decisions over what these corporations do if we want to have corporations and all then political democracy is a sham and then the you look at the military budget your city of new jersey but you get used to spend as much as the world. at a time when our infrastructure is literally a deep level grade for the american society of civil engineers we get it deep in their these days is the future of our economy very for structures going to work and so if you face of those two issues which are just going on fear the one percent in the military industrial complex suddenly your solutions to the issues i mean there's money to invest in a new. resisting the return no certainly does money to reform it looms them out waste the energy so you can turn roads into solar panels that's all possible we can make them like. our money ran on the. right.
2:51 am
road it won't work great. at least it was to some other target like the president getting. it easier like the red streak that we are right now are. here now. take. it out because. they say that the occupy movements major victory to date is that we have changed the conversation that people are now debating issues such as well some equality at this point i think we can all agree there is no debate there is inequity when it comes to wealth period full stop and it is growing and the super rich are not super rich because of some force of nature like summer morphing into fall or heat always
2:52 am
going to cold they are super rich as a result of their active participation in or their willingness to be accessories to criminally rig the homicidal force of a system what the occupy movement has done and why people armed with nothing more than an idea are being suppressed often violently is to acknowledge that most all of the issues are connected to anti-war activists or through health care reform advocates or housing or labor rights advocates will thank the reform advocates you name it are now all shining a light on the root cause of inequity you see our foreign policy does in fact limit our options when it comes to health care reform a shareholder capitalism one that. demands growth every quarter is directly contributing to the assault on collective bargaining issues the american dream itself the way it is understood by many as a mistress rags to riches anyone could be a millionaire greed is good grab the most toys before you die each rose should be
2:53 am
you and i used for the greater good and the birth of a new american dream based on equity sustainability and the general welfare of the people should be brought into being and by people i mean people not corporations i was out here during the game for no education. it was a martin luther king day. two thousand people total strangers were out of each other on the streets were having conversations across class and race lines and all the sudden we felt oh. well some of us knew better but you can't there's no messiah going to get elected by this system and deliver hope and change we can believe in so how will the occupy movement that has wisely stayed away from promoting political parties or individual politicians navigate the minefield of the potentially co-opting force that is the presidential election cycle now this year is just going to be nuts we've never seen this much money spent on
2:54 am
a political process in the history of the world. and this comes at a time for a movement that is determinately to. this mad influx of money and politics so it's going to be a really scary contrast and the challenge of this movement is to create a counter narrative is to show that the justice of its cause is more interesting than anything these candidates can put on television i mentioned at the beginning that this movie is an invitation for you to join the occupy movement but there are no membership dues no papers to sign all that is required is the willingness to see the world as it is and decide that you are going to. part of the solution occupy is less of an organization and more of an organism a living breathing and force that refuses to find a mishna will be pushed into a corner this organism is still
2:55 am
a baby and the narrative it will be telling in the years to come is yours to write what's your alternative that isn't exactly do you think he needs you to limit him coming to your t.v. still. believed to be killed by the people to sit in judgment because he didn't didn't think you. just followed. him. thankfully the senate better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answer the first time in decades people were really discussing does the world have to be this way and how can we bring a better world into this historical lessons about life and freedom i still have a comment that is coming back i believe this because. i think they could same thing crazy for putting this thing from the mouth.
2:56 am
this.
2:57 am
judge is wooden poles fifteen goods. two counts. forty kilograms of rights one thousand flatbreads. and. but one is the bride in a bad mood. to tell the groom the bomb. is a done deal. will two parties keep us politics a one way street. or will new voices disrupt the power of power alone. because if america changes trucks to a selection of clothes god monday nov fifth on our team.
2:58 am
